@Nawer_Rapter@mastodon.social @joho@mastodon.online I hear you, it does sound like different problems right? Being able to vote or use the internet is not necessarily connected with being underage, but some platforms are illegal for underaged for a reason, and companies providing such services to underage kids are the ones that need to be punished for, interestingly enough, treating them as livestock.

@gullok@mastodon.social @Nawer_Rapter@mastodon.social @joho@mastodon.online if you can mandate that a specific type of content needs age verification on the internet, and at the same time you can force any service on the internet to give you all personal data that they collect (which the US surveillance machine frequently does), then you can build up databases of "undesirable citizens" or force them to go silent on the internet. And once those databases exist, they _will_ be used for the worst possible use. Like IBM in the 1940s.
